business climate. stretching the truth and here is a clip. >> there are plenty of reasons texas has been named the best state for doing business for eight years running. see why our low taxes are just the thing to get your business moving to texas. >> reporter: now where governor perry is taking liberties with facts. they were named the best state for business but the source chief executive's annual survey of ceos. some more widely regarded cnbc rankings went with texas in 2012 but they chose virginia in 2011. in fact, those two states have flip-flopped since cnbc began a study six years ago.

then perry's claim of low taxes in texas. the nonpartisan tax foundation ranks the states with the best tax climate, they did come in ninth overall. but pulled up by higher than average corporate tax rate and property tax rate. finally perry talked about a fair legal system, fairer than california's maybe but in the u.s. chamber of commerce. california was actually worse, close to dead last at 47. >> lawyers make decisions, based on a number of factors including a state's lawsuit climate that has become increasingly important. by comparison a measurably more favorably lawsuit than california. >> california home prices, much higher than they are in texas.

the average single family home sold for more than $366,000, compare that to around $160,000 in texas. the golden state's tax climate is ranked 48th in the country. the tax foundation study you mentioned again is compared to ninth in texas and our unemployment rate which has certainly improved is still a far cry from texas' race of 6.1%. if you're an employer, you're looking at the basic fundamentals for growth, taxes, unemployment, clearly beats out california. while rubbing our nose in it, governor perry has also lied about his own state's performance. that was not something we're planning on letting go unnoticed. >> okay, sam, thank you. california is now suing the debt rating agency standard & poor's costing california investors billions of dollars. the state's attorney general filed a lawsuit today in san francisco one day after the

5:00 a.m. on thursday and that will be up into the north bay. as we head throughout the commute thursday, we're going to find that chance of rainfall increasing and we'll keep that chance in the forecast as we head all throughout thursday afternoon. not going to be a large storm. not even a lot of snowfall for the sierra but will change things up for what we have not seen in our winter pattern. 3 to 6 inches expected in the sierra. 6 inches for you. a nice dusting of snowfall for the ski resorts. as far as tomorrow goes, we'll have areas of patchy fog developing in the north bay. 36 in santa rosa. 37 in napa. 37 in livermore. also low to mid-40s down in the silicon valley. 45 in san jose and 41 in los gatos. for tomorrow we will have temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees and not a whole lot of contrast on the weather boards. with all of this cold air pushing across the bay area. 55 in san francisco and then you head over to livermore and you have 58. so not a full-on micro climate

day. on your three day we get that chance of showers in here on thursday, also on friday. then for this upcoming weekend never too early to look april head to the friday and saturday. plenty of sunshine coming on back and that will continue into next monday and also tuesday. the other thing of note by this weekend saturday morning, temperatures will be the coldest they have been in a while. we could have record setting lows and upper 20s. so on that day it would be a good day to be a ground who go with all of that fur but any other day forget it. >> yes, of course. >> i'm not bitter. >> congratulations on your day again. >> thank you. >> cake and flowers waiting in the newsroom. >> we have to get a card for you. li listen to this one. the 49ers may have lost the super bowl but fans got free jell-o pudding cups as a consolation prize kind of. all part of jell-o's promotion during the super bowl that the losing city gets free pudding cups. they set up free drop-off

locations. it's part of jell-o's national ad campaign. so if you were in any of the areas you actually might appear in a commercial. if you were lucky enough you may have gotten the free pudding cups from 49er great ronnie lott. he was at one of the locations handing out pudding. >> can you imagine getting a pudding cup? that would have been a shocker, don't you think, jim? >> i do think so. we did get some free food here. i'm going to let you ruminate on that. let's go with the super bowl that was in the balance. four tries from inside the 10 yard line. if you're a 49ers fan, you kind of like your chances to that point of the game. unfortunately, it was not to be. 49ers failed to score on their four attempts to take the lead in super bowl xlvii and the final pass to michael crabtree fell into questions of the 49ers play calling came to the

forefront. >> we came up five yards short. certainly we know how it ended up, we didn't get the ball in. maybe a different play call, that's the way i always feel. if you do something that doesn't work, the would have, could have, should have, is undefeated. that's never failed. >> on to golf. pebble beach has been called the greatest meeting of landon. both merged into one as our john henry smith was there to experience it. >> reporter: well, it's not very often you find 49ers and giants on the same field but there they were on the golf links at pebble
